Wait so all I have to do is ask more common sense questions and you guys will create a whole thread to help me out??? That's awesome!! Well, I think I'd rather open 30 topics at a time.. Some involving hygiene.. That cool with you guys?

nice video.... Impressive product... Not too expensive either compared to some others...

good to know... happy your back to beatin' that truck.

lol... i hope so..... i want something in my car other than my POS pioneer I got for $69 about 6yrs ago.... it saddens me when I sit in my car...

Thanks for the reply buddy.... I'll be thinking on this... I am scared to hear that quote though seeing as you're across the country from me....

Hey guys... It's me again... This time wondering if I should pick this one up... Can get the JL Audio 300/2 for about $175.. I would be using it for my front stage... I would also like to get some recommendations for the front stage.... I will be removing the rear deck speakers to make subwoofer sound easier to travel into the cabin... Should I pull the trigger or are there other options out there? I have 4 amps that interest me and are within a reasonable price range... I don't think I want to be that close to the $300 mark... So help me out again guys... I just threw a reference Soundstream in there, although I know its over my apparent budget...lol

Thanks Mark.. Kinda feared this... Pricing looks AHHH!!! .... Well I contemplate getting a box for this Kicker because a nice woofer could be had for my current 12" sealed enclosure.. Am I being stupid??? Should I just box up the Kicker and power it off my JL 500/1 ??

Sale fell through on the 300/2 ... hurt my little heart that this guy was making a deal and trying to have me bid war with some douche.! Anyway... I'm in the market for a 2ch amplifier that is in the 100-150 watt range... My choices good enough? or do you have more for me to look at?

I hit up a thread on the argent section... hopefully I'll get a response there...

Okay. The sub system is powered off of 1 JL 500/1. I have already asked you guys about a Dcon setup.. I figure these are my options: 1. I can install my 04S15L7 which is a 2 ohm DVC which I would wire to 4 ohm. This would require that I get an enclosure for it, which would run me in the $200 range. 2. Next is a 12" Dcon in a ported enclosure to spec which would run me about $300-$350. 3. Lastly, I was thinking dual 12" Dcons in a sealed/ported enclosure which would run me about $405-$500. Add another $400 on top of that because their is a big chance I will be get a DC Power alternator during this process. What do you guys think?

lol... stop asking question JD.... hahaha .. TBH I always ebay my wires and have yet to be disappointed. 50ft spool of 1/0 awg wire cost me about 85 beans IIRC...

I vote yes because I would like to annoy him with various questions about his product... And some about life. ... So yes!

So I tried last night and again this morning .... Only thing that happened was this threw my amplifier into "low impedance" mode ... I didn't get any real readings at all...

So I got my JL 500/1 for my sub setup Friday, didn't have time to install it til today... One issue... The amp doesn't seem to kick in until I hit about 50% of max on my Pioneer HU.. I know it is not the HU because it was beatin' in the morning with my old setup (Kenwood).. Two things happened when doing the "swap" of amplifiers... 1. Apparently one of the ring terminals on the wiring was shitty, and came out... 2. I replaced the terminal with a new one I bought at BestBuy just so I could get it done... When installing this onto the capacitor that was already in my car I accidentally touched the wire to both ends... Spark and sizzle but everything seemed ok... Now again... the amp seems to work but only past level 35-38 on the head unit... Think I blew my cap? I have to get new wire so I will run new ones without that capacitor anyway... But any ideas on the subject??? Thanks guys...

2 Clicks to the right. 200 acv Black cord in the com port, red cord in the left port. (10a) Thanks... Jumping in the car now!

not a thread high jack... but... I want to setup my JL Audio amplifier so I can get the correct gain setting... What do I select on my DMM? Thanks

I may reground it to a new spot. Ohhh, the woofer is definitely wired right, I quadruple checked that and then quadruple checked it again before I screwed it down. With the LOC, what does it mean by levels? And would you know which direction of the screw would do what? Take a picture of the LOC if you can get a good one... I would like to jump in but can't picture what you mean in my head... lol

BTW, you're a life saver bro.... That worked perfectly... Just sat in my car in the driveway messin' about and I giggled at my shitty 12" Pioneer woofer sounding pretty damn good.... Thanks man...

lol... now you're helping me? ... anwyway, I think I have the signal sensing turned off... is that what you mean?

Should have mentioned that.... I meant the amplifier doesn't turn on til I go high in volume.. The JL has a green power light and it doesn't light up until I pump more volume through the head unit.... When I thought it was a gain setting I was riding around, then the amp kicked in(powered on) the bass was all loud and not what I wanted...lol... So the amp doesn't TURN ON/POWER ON until the volume gets increased to a certain level... I have the gain on low sensitivity on the amp and gain turned half way so I can know when it kicks on.... Thanks for the suggestion though Dictator

That box looks sexci!!!

Don't think it would necessarily "hurt" your subwoofer but if not set properly could hinder it's performance.

Amazon has different retailers but you can buy thing DIRECT from Amazon and that battery looks like a complete fake.... The sticker even the logo look different.... lolz Anyway, I'm with Lancelot... Would def have bought the XS Power to support the community and SSA... But price wise the Kinetik was better for me and I called Kinetik and the confirm that I have full warranty with them from this vendor I got it from. BTW I bought it off of onlinecarstereo.com. They sell some items that aren't covered by manufacturers warranty but I emailed and called Kinetik before pulling the trigger.

I know everyone keeps telling me to go to Argent but it would cost me the same if not MORE to go that route, not that I'd totally mind if it were like $50 dollars but I'm afraid to even find out what shipping would cost on a box like this....

I guess that might matter if you actually pay for shipping. I get all items from A M A Z O N free shipping no matter what it is. Also the vendor I ended up actually purchasing it from offered free ground shipping on my battery. So most places offer it FREE in hopes of you actually buying it, usually it is slower shipping but free.. Anyway, I've never heard that about the floating voltage of Kinetiks.. Where is your source? Like was this tested and posted somewhere? Or you got this from a personal experience? I am still within my return policy if that is the case? Also where could I see that about he XS power batteries? Thanks.
